Pacifica Commercial Realty

What Pacifica Commercial Realty does

Pacifica Commercial Realty is a privately held commercial real estate firm headquartered in Santa Maria, California, founded circa 1968-1969. The company operates as the Central Coast's largest full-service commercial real estate company, providing brokerage and property management services for commercial, industrial, office, retail, medical, investment, and land properties across Northern Santa Barbara County and Southern San Luis Obispo County — a contiguous regional market spanning from Buellton to Paso Robles. The firm maintains a secondary office in Paso Robles to serve the northern portion of its territory. Under the leadership of long-tenured principal brokers including Pat Palangi (with the firm since 1990), Mike Kelly (since 2007), and Chris Garner (since 2007), Pacifica claims to have completed the majority of all commercial real estate transactions on the Central Coast over the past 35 years.

The business operates two complementary revenue streams. The brokerage division generates transaction-based commissions from sales and leasing of commercial, industrial, office, retail, medical, investment, and land properties, with agents representing both buyers/tenants and sellers/landlords. The Pacifica Property Management division — established internally in 1986 and extended to third-party owners in 1989 — generates recurring management fees from overseeing over 1.3 million square feet of commercial and industrial space across approximately 400 tenants, handling tenant billing and collections, vendor management, tax and insurance administration, and financial reporting on behalf of owners, investors, and developers. Distribution combines direct agent-led sales with a self-serve website listings platform featuring property search by type, location, price, and square footage.

The firm employs 1-10 people and serves a horizontal mix of commercial property owners, commercial property investors, office/industrial/retail/medical space users, and land developers. Pricing varies materially by asset type and transaction: lease rates range from approximately $0.85/SF/month to $3.00/SF/month, while sale prices for active listings span roughly $290,000 to $27,660,000. No revenue, funding, M&A, or ownership data is publicly disclosed; the firm appears to operate as an independent, privately held entity without institutional backing.
